hey all! So it's so beautiful here! my new area is Guimba!
Great people with alot of love and so
humble. most of the houses here are made of bamboo or bricks that they make
themselves. Rarely will anyone have AC or Lighting in their house...or
bathrooms...yet they are the happiest people i have ever met. Suprisingly there
hasn't been like any rain!
This last sunday i had to share my testimony infront of the
congregation of the branch. I really
regret not learning how to cook before coming here...i burnt rice...and the
pork....and my grilled cheese..
Meep leaving my old home at the mtc was pretty rough...Hot
showers now = cold bucket showers (which
feel actually really great at the long of a hot day); AC which now = a fan
(most every family has 1 fan per person that they carry and plug in where ever
they go around the house) ; One change that was my favorite is my fake
investigator now = Real people with real desires to do good!\
I also lost my last companion, but gained a new one! Leaving
sister Nuku was really tough PERO my new kasama ko is also really great! She is
quite different from Sis Nuku (baby baby). Sister Gerardo, New kasama ko, is 26
native Filipino who is teaching me the ways of serving a mission in the
Philippines! I really enjoy being her kasama. She is taking good care of me! I
love talking...[attempting to talk...to everyone here! I met one lovely lil old
man..or Tatay...his name is Brother Alfredo. he is so kind and humble. he lives
in a 3 walled home with a bed made of bamboo and a tarp as a roof. He is so
happy...he has had missionaries teach him before but never got baptized.He
didn't say yes or no to our invitation for baptism yet pero i know that as he
reads the Book of Mormon, the Spirit will testify to him that it is the right
thing to do.
It's crazy how much i love these people and i don't even
know them. I am super blessed to be part of this great work...even if it does
mean bucket showers, bug bites, and burnt food...i love it all the better
I do need to improve with Tagalog pero that will just come
with time! .
I don't have much time to think about home but I hope
everyone is doing well!

love all of you...and if someone could send me a flash
drive, that'd be great...and possiby another sd card for my camera!!! it's
going to get full fast!
